Overzicht
VISIPLAN is a dose assessment programme developed to assist the ALARA analyst in pre-job studies. The VISIPLAN tools assist both in the calculation and the communication in ALARA evaluations.
It is a commercially distributed package. At this moment VISIPLAN 4.0 is the latest version. The software is in use in companies all over the world.
Onderwerpen
- The code is based on a 3D model including material, geometry and sources
- The Point-kernel dose calculation method, with build-up correction is used
- The code allows to perform dose assessment for tasks, trajectories and scenarios; it estimates individual and collective dose
- Special tools are available for source sensitivity analysis and source strength determination from measured dose rate sets
Doelpubliek
This course is intended for radiation protection experts and officers, ALARA analysts and persons responsible for the assessment of the dose uptake of workers.
